Engineered for Bulgarian and European trade corridors. Fully licensed FMC NVOCC ocean container services, heavy-lift project forwarding, and bonded customs solutions.
In an increasingly volatile global macroeconomic climate, international supply chain governance requires more than standard freight booking—it demands dedicated end-to-end OEM and ODM ocean forwarding architecture tailored to specific geographic gateways. As the strategic eastern logistics node of the European Union, the Republic of Bulgaria serves as an imperative maritime corridor connecting Asian manufacturing powerhouses, Middle Eastern trade hubs, and Central European industrial zones. Navigating the operational nuances of Black Sea shipping, European Union maritime regulations, and local customs compliance mandates a partner operating under validated global regulatory frameworks.
G&B International Logistics (Green & Blue Group), operating as a fully FMC-licensed Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) and freight forwarder since 1995 (FMC License #4159N/F), provides customized OEM/ODM freight solutions designed specifically for Bulgarian importers, multinational OEMs, and industrial project buyers. By leveraging carrier-direct Service Contracts (SC), specialized container fleets, and fully compliant EU customs brokerage (T1 transit, EORI alignment, and Bulgarian Customs Agency clearance), G&B removes operational friction, eliminates demurrage overheads, and guarantees door-to-door transit reliability.
Information Gain Benchmark: Unlike traditional brokers who rely on multi-tier re-selling, G&B operates with direct FMC NVOCC authority, enabling tailored House Bill of Lading (HBL) creation, flexible freight payment structures, direct terminal handling agreements at Port of Varna and Port of Burgas, and proprietary 4th Generation Logistics (4GL) tracking integration.
Whether managing high-volume FCL (Full Container Load) manufacturing shipments, consolidated LCL (Less than Container Load) automotive spares, or DNV-certified flat rack equipment for heavy infrastructure build-outs, our strategic routing protocols ensure optimal transit times via the Bosporus Strait, minimizing transshipment delays at Mediterranean transshipment hubs like Piraeus, Istanbul, or Port Said.
Our operational infrastructure is engineered to accommodate diverse cargo parameters, regulatory compliance frameworks, and delivery terms (INCOTERMS 2020: DDP, DDU, DAP, FOB, EXW) tailored to Bulgarian commerce.

Bulgaria’s integration into the Schengen zone for maritime and air borders significantly reduces intra-EU transit bottlenecks. Cargo cleared at Port of Varna moves seamlessly into Central Europe without redundant border stops.
European brands are shifting assembly hubs to Bulgaria due to competitive labor costs and favorable corporate taxes. This drives surging demand for OEM/ODM raw material ocean imports from East Asia via FMC-backed NVOCC contracts.
